Aneet Padda Sends Wishes To Aaishvary Thackeray Ahead Of Nishaanchi Release: ‘Only A Few Of Us Know…'
Bal Thackeray's grandson, Aaishvary Thackeray, is all set to make his acting debut with Anurag Kashyap's next, Nishaanchi. With the film set to hit theatres in September 2025, the makers dropped the teaser yesterday, and it has left social media and the industry impressed. With a strong act from Aaishvary, everyone is impressed with his debut performance already, and now Aneet Padda, who has been making waves with her recently released blockbuster Saiyaara, has praised the actor.
While praising the teaser dropped yesterday, on August 8, the actress shared, '@aaishvarythackeray Only a few of us know how much you've put into this, and how much you've wanted this, can't wait for your moment to unfold, tiger, there's nobody like you. @vedikapinto you're magic as always, the world isn't ready. @anuragkashyap 10 sir, you're foraying again in our favorite territory, thank you for this."
About Nishaanchi Teaser
The teaser wastes no time in grabbing attention. It opens with the line: 'Bina Bollywood, kauno zindagi kaise jiye?" — instantly setting the tone for an unapologetic love letter to filmi flamboyance. From there, we're thrown into the pulsating world of Babloo (Aaishvary Thackeray), a flamboyant, larger-than-life local hero who oozes confidence and charm. Babloo's world is alive with energy, beats, and attitude, and by his side is Rinku (Vedika Pinto), a firecracker who matches his madness move for move. Their chemistry, teased in quick flashes, promises to be one of the film's highlights.
However, this seemingly carefree world is soon disrupted by the arrival of two formidable characters — Ambika Chacha (Kumud Mishra) and Kamaal Ajeeb (Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub). Their entry adds a layer of intrigue, hinting at twists and confrontations that will push the story into unexpected territory. The teaser is packed with seeti-maar moments: slow-motion hero entries, larger-than-life character reveals, and music that's instantly catchy.
Who Is Aaishvary Thackeray?
Aaishvary Thackeray, Balasaheb Thackeray's grandson, is set to make his Bollywood debut. Aaishvary started his Bollywood journey with Sanjay Leela Bhansali as an assistant director. He worked with him on the sets of Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh's Bajirao Mastani. Aaishvary Thackeray's Nishaanchi was announced on June 16, with a video. 'Lights, Camera, Action. Yeh film dekhne ke liye taiyyar ho jao. #Nishaanchi, releasing at a theatre near you, September 19," the side note read.
'We wrote Nishaanchi in 2016. Since then, I have been looking to make this film the way it should be, and was looking for a studio that trusted me to do that wholeheartedly," Anurag Kashyap shared with Variety.
The film, backed by Ajay Rai and Ranjan Singh under the banner of Jar Pictures in association with Flip Films, features Vedika Pinto, Monika Panwar, Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub, and Kumud Mishra in pivotal roles.

Varun Badola feels Saiyaara would have been a flop with Shah Rukh Khan in lead: ‘He will be too big for the film'
Actor Varun Badola, who has been getting plaudits for his role in the latest hit Saiyaara, has weighed in on whether films still need big stars to succeed. According to the actor, Saiyaara's success wouldn't have translated if Shah Rukh Khan had been in the lead instead of Ahaan Panday. He believes Shah Rukh's presence would have overshadowed the film itself. Varun Badola shared that one can't dismiss the role of stars entirely. Varun Badola opines Varun recently appeared on a YouTube podcast hosted by Nayandeep Rakshit, where he strongly disagreed with the idea that the success of Saiyaara proves that stars aren't necessary for a hit. He also noted that Jawan would have been a flop if Ahaan Panday had been in the lead instead of Shah Rukh. Varun said, 'People are saying that this film has proven that we don't need stars anymore. That's not true. Abhi tum Ahaan Panday ko utha ke Jawan mein daalo, Jawan flop ho jayegi. Shah Rukh ko Saiyaara mein daal do, Saiyaara flop ho jayegi (Try putting Ahaan Panday in Jawan, Jawan will flop. Put Shah Rukh in Saiyaara, and Saiyaara will flop). Shah Rukh will suddenly become too big for the film, and Ahaan will not have the personality to run Jawan.' During the conversation, he was also asked about how he thinks Ahaan's career will shape up. Varun refused to respond, mentioning that it would depend on his choices. He also spoke about the whole chatter around nepotism and the rise of content-driven cinema. Varun feels dismissing the role of stars entirely oversimplifies the equation, mentioning, 'It's about matching the right talent to the right story.'. About Saiyaara Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara became a surprise blockbuster starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. It shattered records, grossing over ₹500 crore globally, becoming the highest-grossing Indian romantic film ever. The film tells the story of a struggling and troubled musician, Krissh Kapoor, who meets an aspiring journalist and a poet, Vaani Batra (played by Aneet Padda). As they work together, they fall in love with each other. Varun essayed role of Ahaan aka 'Krish Kapoor's father. The story shows whether they unite in the end. The film also stars Rajesh Kumar, Geeta Aggarwal, Alam Khan and Shann Groverr. The film was released on July 18.
